I got to check out the upcoming MX-5000 today. It's being described as "a hard button MX-6000". It's a wand-style remote with a color touch screen, rather than a soft button LCD like the MX-980. However, there are no numeric hard buttons. The overall styling is very much like the MX-6000, but the buttons are clear and rounded. I'm sure those who have enjoyed the URC line will like this remote as well.

There's talk of some other cool things on the horizon: 2-way rs-232, new base stations and an in-wall touch screen control. I'm not going to give too much away, because I don't know how far away any of these products are.
